Did you go in and stay at the Nikau? - great we spot that. We were met there 13 odd years ago (arriving late 11.30 - setting up a tent at the Redpaths farm entry over the bridge) by spotlights and firearms after they thought we were a couple of Auckland cattle rustlers rolling into town... Had spoken to old lady Redpath there who had failed to pass the message on... was a good way to get the old adrelaline running any how and situation soon explained..

We spent 4 odd days in there had a ball in Summer with catching trout fly fishing and the odd clamber round the rock faces above Nikau to get up the next section.there was a almost passable track then but it blew out big time after that and haven't gone back since... Great times - hope you guys continue to enjoy that spot.

good on ya nick thats steep to overhanging cheers Gibo on pics
